Petition update

Stay well and help orangutans stay safe too!

We hope you are all well in these difficult times. Donating to charity probably isn't top of your priorities so it's quite easy to forget that charities are struggling too.

At the moment, everyone is worrying and preparing for the unpredictable future. People are busy stocking up on food and many are working extremely hard. Therefore, it doesn't give us enough time to sit down and wonder how animals are being affected by the COVID-19.

Over the last 20 years, Orangutans have lost well over 80% of their habitat, and it could be getting a lot worse. COVID-19 has had a huge impact on us humans, from the way we learn and work to how we communicate, socialise and how we go about our everyday lives. Orangutans are already growing rapidly extinct and now many conservationists are concerned about the welfare of our closest primates: apes and orangutan.

Charities are doing all they can to protect these beautiful creatures but without the funding they need, it's hard to make progress. Also, giving can make you feel better and more positive.

Keep fighting for people power!
